ADRIAN O’CONNOR has made a welcome return to snooker action after a spell away from the game because of illness.

And the former Yorkshire League player and ex-Huddersfield captain helped his new team Crosland Moor Conservative A to a 3-1 victory over Marsden Con, when he knocked in the week’s top break in the SMileS Open League.

Playing off minus 43 and conceding 71 points start to Marsden’s Ian Shepherd, O’Connor compiled a break of 80 to win the frame 100-86, to go alongside victories for John Bastow and Gary Doughty.
